“…The knowledge base recedes into the background in favor of the pupil's prosocial, environmental and developmental dispositions: locally grounded learning in the areas of Man and Society, Man and Nature, Language and Linguistic Communication, Mathematics and its Applications and so on can be applied in current educational plans. On the example of the reconstructed synagogue in Hartmanice (Musil 2021), it is possible to observe the history of the building living in the place (formerly and now), the Hartmanice landscape, the local dialect or relations between the Czech-German border in the Šumava mountains, the geometry of the mountain synagogue. The specific elaboration of the pedagogical application of the selected place always depends on the requirements of the teachers, the monitoring of the fulfillment of the set goals and other parameters available to the place.…”

"The paper deals with the phenomenon which, when grasped in a suitable way, can become an integral part of teaching in Czech schools: it is genius loci and related instruction. In the context of ongoing discussions on the new form of the curriculum, on the rapid changes in society over the past two decades and especially on the outlook for the future development of (not only) the Czech natural environment, we recognize the importance of the development of knowledge of the landscape. All existing processes, phenomena and landscape in general provide wide range for evaluation and cognitive part of children‘s personality. The environmental dimension, ranging from local aspects to global challenges and problems, also extends the personal and subjective conception of the place. Finally, practical experience and the development of competencies, in addition to knowledge, complete the use and application of the place by pupils in the intentions of locally grounded learning. The paper is divided into two parts, the first is devoted to the theoretical background, introduction of the key factors of both phenomena and their risks, and the second follows the context of curricular documents, teaching and place-based education on examples of pedagogical practice. Finally, the paper focuses on the view of outdoor education and place-based education as tools for student participation in the formation, consolidation and preservation of the genius loci in the level of knowledge, values, community cooperation, shared memory and common traditions."

Rural songs for COVID‐19 times? UK folk music's resurgent engagement with the countryside

The COVID‐19 pandemic somewhat unexpectedly promoted resurgent interest in the attractions of rural places, not least associated with nature, in many countries for especially urban people. The paper argues that this link was very fecund for many within the broad UK ‘folk music’ community specifically. After introducing COVID‐19's pro‐rural turn, the paper gives a brief overview of now substantial music geography scholarship, paying particular attention to what has been studied in respect of folk music, not least its examination of the latter's problematic links to English identities. It argues that folk music's resurgent rural links call for attention. It then introduces how the rural‐folk music COVID‐19 experience worked at three non‐exclusive levels. First, there was rural influence on the music being produced. Second, some musicians were also personally impacted strongly by rural experiences, evident not solely through their music. Third, some musicians developed original rural initiatives that saw audience members also gaining direct rural inspiration, not just via the strong growth in internet‐facilitated connections but through direct in‐place encounters with the musicians in the rural. Each reading is illustrated by two brief case studies, with the rural‐folk combination becoming increasingly alive and more‐than‐representational. It is suggested in conclusion that there remains a strong ‘life’ to these rural‐folk music connections in less predominant COVID‐19 times.
